This weekend was fairly busy, with Erin’s dad (John) in town for a visit. I went over to a friend’s place on Saturday night, and we ended up calling it a night at a quarter to three, after playing a bunch of arcade games and a board game that he invented. It was a good time - one of those nights that ends because everyone is too tired, not because everyone is bored and wants to go home. It got me psyched about finishing my arcade cabinet again, which is good.

We did some plumbing repairs, and Erin and John got the bathroom sink installed on Sunday. Sunday night, just after we got into bed, a valve shot off, and there was water shooting at a high rate towards the door. I thought it was John in the bathroom using the new sink, and he thought it was me. Luckily, Erin recognized the sound for what it was, and rousted me out of bed to fix it. They went to return the bad stuff and buy good stuff yesterday, so we should be ok now.

Then yesterday, I met them for lunch (which is why there was no post) a little unexpectedly. That’s always a pleasant surprise. Last night John took us out for supper to the Mongolian Grill along with Jim, Judy, Jess and Ryan. William had a good time at the restaurant, making new friends with everyone in the restaurant, as usual.

And now we get to today. Erin, William and John are headed to Calgary. It’s going to be awfully quiet around the house with them gone for a few days. Hopefully William deals with the trip better than his mom has so far (she’s stressed out beyond belief.)

Nothing much else new though.
